There isn’t anything quite like spending the day on a farm – especially if you then have the chance to seek out – and maybe sneakily sample – some of the home-grown fruits and vegetables which blossom during the summer months.

It’s usually also a cheap way to get the kids out in the sunshine, get some vitamin D, and give them plenty of exercise doing some hard manual labour.
